ADAM

I just wanted to take a minute to blog about Adam. As some of you know he was laid off back in January and started his new job this morning designing check out stands. (the belt driven stands you put your groceries on when you check out) Anyway, during the time he was laid off until he got his new job he has exasperated the job boards and has been able to watch his stocks more closely. This is not the reason for this blog however. I just wanted to take some time to say what a great guy he has been. I feel that God challenges us in hard times in order to help our faith in him grow stronger. We could have fallen apart after he was laid off but instead I believe that we became closer as a family and closer to God as well. Adam has been so good with Zachary and they have gotten to know each other so much more. It broke my heart this morning when I brought Zachary downstairs and he looked in the living room to say "hey" to daddy but daddy wasn't there. It was sad yet warmed my heart at the same time. Children need their daddies just as much as their mommies, and Zach sure knows who his daddy is. This past Friday, Electrolux had yet another layoff and some of Adam's buddies got the news this time. In a weird way we are blessed Adam got laid off when he did because he was able to find work so quickly. Adam is great at his job, great as a father and our marriage has never been stronger. Adam, thank you for not throwing in the towel when it would have been so easy to do so and thank you for being you. I love you!

PS Thank you everyone for your prayers for a new job....prayer works=)
